I'm using the Firestarter firewall. It works ok but what is a majore anoyance sometimes is that it send the output to tty1.
Anyone know a way to change that so that it sends it to a file or even don't output anything? I know it works so I really don't need to know what it's doing constantly.

Firestarter output
There's a command that should stop those messages: "dmesg -n1"
Or you can use a different firewall that supports the userspace logging daemon (ulogd), like FireHOL. (You should remove/purge firestarter before installing another firewall.)
Make sure that firehol.conf has the following two lines:
START_FIREHOL=YES
FIREHOL_LOG_MODE="ULOG"
Then check the newly created firehol.conf file. If it looks OK, you can now start FireHOL.
After this all the firewall log messages should go to /var/log/ulog/syslogemu.log.
